For those who are not familiar with Excel, the first video of the Excel 2013 Statistical Analysis for Business & Economics Playlist at Excelsfun is very good.
Start with Excel 2013 Statistical Analysis #00: Excel Workbooks For This Class (2:07 minutes). This short video gives an explanation of how to quickly navigate within the longish Excel 2013 Statistical Analysis #01. This is the Excel workbook that is used for the first two videos: Workbook
Although it is long, Excel 2013 Statistical Analysis #01: Using Excel Efficiently For Statistical Analysis (100 Examples) gives an excellent introduction to Excel, from the very basics of spreadsheets to Pivot Tables and charts.
Next watch video #2 to learn how to activate
the statistical analysis add-in that is very useful for this course:
